Bulk ftplugin updates - browsefilter GTK support

[Doug Kearns]

G'day all,

I've noticed that most of the ftplugins that support browsefilter don't test for the "gui_gtk" feature.

Is there a process in place for executing bulk ftplugin updates in a case like this or should I just contact all the maintainers?

Thanks,

Doug

I'm afraid contacting the maintainers is needed. I can include some
changes, but when a maintainer sends me a new version, it might overrule
them. Thus I rather have the maintainer make the change and then send
me the latest version.

Then that is what I will do. :)
